I have a b450 pro4 asrock motherboard and I'm trying to add some usb 2.0 ports via a PCI card. My board only has usb 3.0 and my audio interface mbox 3 has known issues with usb 3.0.

Should I be worried about plugging it in if I can't verify compatibility via pcpartpicker, etc.?

Your motherboard does not support PCI cards, since does not have PCI slots.
Does your case have USB 2.0 ports?
Your motherboard has USB 2.0 headers, so just get a USB 2.0 Bracket and connect it to the USB 2.0 headers on your motherboard.
